This 2 bedroom steel hulled barge was originally built in 1925 and is
presently situated on a popular Residential mooring located in a secure,
gated community in Canary Wharf. Last surveyed in 2014 and
painstakingly refurbished internally and repainted externally in 2015,
this is an opportunity for an atmospheric pied a terre or floating home
on the edge of The City. The wheelhouse to the upper deck could be a
charming entertaining area and enjoys 360 degree views, whilst the
cabins themselves are well equipped with wardrobe space. Both bathrooms
are modern and stylish, whilst the open-plan saloon has lofty ceilings
and a contemporary fitted kitchen which combine to provide a light and
airy centre of the dwelling. Traditional marine features abound and
include porthole windows and curved ceilings overhead.
